\ gets stripped out by GMCP composer

[Vadim Peretokin]

The \ character gets stripped out by the GMCP composer.

A workaround is to use \\ that gets transformed into \.

A patch to apply to Mudlet is on ctelnet.cpp, line 1106, replace it with:

_h += txt.replace(QString("\\"), QString("\\\\")).toLatin1().data();

still relevant?

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Yes - the patch above needs to be applied

[Heiko (koehnheiko)]

I think this has been fixed

This is happening again, exactly as above, in 3.0 Kappa. Have not yet installed 3.0 full release to test this.

Not sure if https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1676542 is a duplicate of this, or vice versa. 1676542 is in reference to more characters.
